Fun, Heartfelt, Emotional

Wedding Photography For Fun-Loving, Creative Couples, Who are Head Over Heels in Love!

A laid back and genuinely emotional approach to wedding photography for loved up, family orientated couples

who don't want to: 'smile' and say "cheese"!!

I believe in capturing real moments that will become more precious and more valuable

with the passage of time.

My Name's Helen

I offer relaxed and natural wedding photography in Staffordshire, Derbyshire and the West Midlands and also love to explore

wedding venues throughout the whole of the UK!

Helen... was the perfect choice for us... She made us feel so relaxed, and managed to get the most beautiful photos...with little or no instruction, she just managed to capture the happiness and laughter from the day, and we really will treasure the photos for ever. Helen is amazing ...We really can’t recommend her enough...

— James Slater

I bought my first camera in 2007 to take on honeymoon to Canada, 10 years on and 200+ weddings later, I am living and breathing my ideal job! I am also a Mummy to this handsome little boy to the left, Wife to the most supportive and patient man in the universe, Mike and I love all things cute and fluffy, especially my baby girl (dog) Roxy, our grumpy bunnies and extremely squeaky guinea pigs!

I consider myself very fortunate, because being a wedding and portrait photographer means that I spend a lot of time a surrounded by joyful and happy people and introduces me to new friends and I have a very healthy work/life balance.

If you would like a wedding photographer with a relaxed and natural approach, who can put you

and your guests at ease then

Helen has a very relaxed approach which will make anyone feel comfortable in front of the lens.Lots of giggles had by all. Thank you for being part of our special day!

— Hannah O'Donnell - The Ashes, Endon

We are so pleased with our beautiful photographs. They are exactly what we wanted.

We were unsure about booking a photographer, as we don’t like the traditional..pictures..and probably never believed we would find someone who could capture the moment without us being critical of the end product. How wrong we were! Your demeanour, humour and nature put us at ease very quickly so it was easy to give you ‘us’; in return you managed to snap the secret looks and knowing smiles to produce our gorgeous, intimate photos.Thank you so much. 

— Katie & Jason - Lichfield Register Office

Helen from start to finish has been amazing. Seeing her fantastic photography work at my cousin’s wedding, we knew we wanted her for ours. She is friendly and very easy to work with. Capturing those special moments that you wouldn’t necessarily see, we can’t thank her enough. We are very pleased with our photographs and highly recommend her talent. Thank you for making us feel very comfortable having our photographs taken on our wedding day.

— Kathryn & Jordan Wright - Packington Moor Farm

Not only is she is an immensely talented photographer she is a genuinely lovely person who puts you at such ease.

I Love Photographing Weddings

Like THESE...

She listens to what you want as a ‘customer’ but it’s also personal it’s not like a regular business transaction. She puts her heart and soul into her work and you can see her passion for photography in every click of the camera. I have the added pleasure of being able to call Helen a friend ...The day wouldn’t have been the same without her and she has given us precious reminders of our special day that will last a lifetime...

...Get people involved - it's great to be surrounded by people willing to help and wanting to be involved. We had the whole family, and lots of friends pitching in for our wedding and it made it so much more special to look around at everything that everyone had done to make our day the success that it was - share the load and the love! Boho, non-traditional Wedding at St Chad's Lichfield followed by a chilled out Village Hall reception and party in Colton, Staffordshire.

Kathryn and Jordan's stunning wedding was in December, days before Christmas, a stunning barn location in rural Staffordshire, decorated with stunning florals by Carrie Lucas Flowers. The entire day took place at one location, which was great, because having everything in one place meant simpler logistics and much more time for mingling and celebrating with family and friends..

Seeking an exquisite Staffordshire wedding venue set in beautiful grounds with stunning views of the surrounding fields and landscape? Read on... one very attractive feature is the beautiful outdoor ceremony area featured in this outdoor summer wedding. Every wedding, no matter how familiar the venue, is a different mix of details, people and personalities - I will capture the atmosphere and unique story of each couple's wedding day

Thank you for making my 2017 incredible! I have been doing this lovely job for 10 beautiful, emotional and challenging years. In that time I have become a wife, become a Mum, made our house into a home, moved into beautiful little premises on a farm, sent my son off to school, I have grown both as a person and as a photographer and I have found my 'happy'.

I decided to do a little round up in this blog post of my top ten wedding venue's within a 100 mile radius of Lichfield. I cannot say that one venue is better than the other, they all have some amazing attributes, attentive and helpful staff and wedding co-ordinators as well as stunning grounds and buildings

I wanted to walk you through a full day's wedding with this blog post, so it is quite long, but shows a typical wedding timeline from getting ready in the morning through to the first dance and evening celebrations.

The wedding of Francesca and John back in 2014 is a memorable one, firstly they were just lovely people and their day was perfect, just how they wanted it to be and secondly it was at The Ashes Exclusive Country House Wedding Venue, which is one of my favourite Staffordshire wedding venues! I have photographed quite a few weddings there so it is really nice to be able to show just how wonderful this venue actually is!

I honestly don't know what I expected, but I didn't go with the intention of shooting loads of images, I was more interested business related discussions, but 5 minutes in the camera came out of the bag, the models were amazing and the decor provided by The Word is Love and Red Floral Architecture was to die for.
